Detailed Description

NYCT Subway extensions for the stop time update.

Member Data Documentation

optional string NyctStopTimeUpdate::actual_track = 2

This is the actual track that the train is operating on and can be used to determine if a train is operating according to its current schedule (plan).

The actual track is known only shortly before the train reaches a station, typically not before it leaves the previous station. Therefore, the NYCT feed sets this field only for the first station of the remaining trip.

Different actual and scheduled track is the result of manually rerouting a train off it scheduled path. When this occurs, prediction data may become unreliable since the train is no longer operating in accordance to its schedule. The rules engine for the 'countdown' clocks will remove this train from all schedule stations.

optional string NyctStopTimeUpdate::scheduled_track = 1

Provides the planned station arrival track.
